Rhythm

Handcrafted leather goods by Shoichiro Ibushi in Kagoshima. Its seems that all the cool kids are carrying his wallets from his small studio above Junction 216 Store (killer little shop) tucked away within a huge outdoor mall. Ibushi San, Jouzu desu ne!

The Machine

Spotted in Boulder Creek this week

p.s- Boulder Creek is also the gateway town to Big Basin Redwoods State Park, which is California's oldest State Park, founded in 1902.

Powr House jacket from Montgomery Ward picked up from the Rose Bowl. Everything is in good order except for the removal of the top front pockets. Nicely worked in, soft with good stitching. I had two new pockets added to the interior with Boro scraps and ghosted the exterior pockets in remembrance. Should be good for the colder wood shed days...

Custom

The best shaping rib in the studio, multi-angled and debt free.

Channel Rack

New in house Channel Rack made from salvaged studio materials and some old wine corks. Too many bags for the other to hold (not that I'm turning down any additions).

Sun Shield Shield

 

In preparation for more days of sun, NMc created a custom umbrella bag from heavy weight cotton canvas.

Sure Fit

After a failed attempt to body surf in Hawaii with my hat on effectively stretching the material, a new interior Ikat band has been sewn in for a proper fit.
